That was very interesting. Thanks for sending that along. How's JJ doing? Karac has been very loud lately. I'm thinking maybe it is the weather. It has been too cold for him to get out and ride his bike. Pat K**************************************See AOL's top rated recipes (http://food.aol.com/top-rated-recipes?NCID=aoltop00030000000004)

Pat,

J has been OCDing all over the place! He is a mess in the stores. He wants to go to the stores but when he gets there he gets very loud and wants to "starte" at the top of my head all the time. When we get home he won't do that. ZEESH! Lois

Lois, won't any of the antianxiety agents help JJ with the OCD?

Karac gets a loud voice when he is anxious too. Fortunately, I have a 24 year old male who helps me with Karac, and he takes him to the mall and out to eat on Saturdays. Karac is much better with him than he is me.

About JJ's swallowing difficulty. Could it be he has a sore throat? I wouldn't think it would be the med. Anyway I hope things are better. I know with Karac that things just seem to come and go.

Pat,

J gets a little help too but its thru the week. He Might have a sore Throat. I need to take him to the reg. Dr. to check for that. But a side effect of zpraxa "Can" be trouble swollowing.Lois

Well, that's interesting. I didn't know that Zyprexa could cause difficulty swallowing.I know it does block dopamine which does effect motor movements. Karac was on it for a short period of time. He was taken off because of a huge weight gain, but I know that isn't a problem for JJ. I hope it isn't the Zyprexa that is causing the difficulty swallowing because I know it is very helpful in preventing aggression. Let me know what you find out.
